The Star of Gettysburg

The fifth volume in the Civil War series, by Joseph A. Altsheler, follows the adventures of Harry Kenton, who leaves his home in Kentucky. The Army of Northern Virginia, still victorious after three hard years of fighting, capitalize on their victories at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, and a young Harry Kenton, is an eyewitness to the Confederate invasion of the north, culminating in the epic three-day struggle at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where Robert E. Lee puts into place a strategy that will end the war, or shatter his army.
